As you know, technology not only helps us get from point  A to point B, but it has also given rise to better methods of monitoring and improving sustainable travel, as well as, great information and cost effectiveness, when planning our travels.

While, the report is a wrap-up of the latest advancements in travel technology, broken down by industry sector, they have also delved into the ways in which we are using technology to become more eco-conscious. It has also been a huge help in  finding helpful ways to make green choices. You can check out this full report, which also covers the most cutting edge travel gear and apps currently available, here:

I’m sure you will agree that technology is playing a huge roll in the future of green traveling.

This increasingly-advanced technology is a fascinating subject and as such, I thought I’d share this all-encompassing report with you, my readers.

If you feel the same,and enjoy this report and article, then please share it with your friends and family that are likely to feel the same as you do. I’m sure you will agree it is some valuable information. There will be a link to this report in my blogroll for future reference. Together we are working toward a better tomorrow!

It all began 3 years ago, when the first Earth Hour, was observed world wide in March, 2007. Each year since then, more than 80 countries, many global landmarks, and major cities, fall into a dark abyss, from 8:30 -9:30 P.M.

The Earth Hour Event, is not just about turning off your lights for one hour.  Rather, it is an event that shows concern, against global warming and climate change.

It is estimated that in 2009, as many as one billion people, may have participated in the event. Last year in Toronto, Canada, the electricity demand, for just that one hour, fell 15% below usual demand, and 7% below their Earth Hour, in 2008.

Why participate?

Earth Hour is intended to be a call to Action, to show support for our future, and the future of our planet.

In doing so, we can join together to create a sustainable future for Mother Earth, and for future generations, simply by electricity saved.  If you haven’t gone “green”, it is the one simple thing you can do, that can really make a difference, in the carbon footprint of our planet.  It’s the one time when black, really is “green”.

Show your support this Saturday evening March 27th, from
8:30 to 9:30 P.M.  Lights out, and working towards many better tomorrows, for our planet, and  future generations to come!
